Reports Back In A Flash

We pride ourselves on the fact our business is completely paperless. This speeds up efficiency (In the office and out in the field) which means we can get the reports to you a lot faster. The secret is in our digital Building and Pest Inspection report which is completed onsite and includes photos of all the areas of concern. Each Inspection Report is quickly sent back to the office where they are quality control checked and then sent off to you. The average time it takes to have the reports in your email inbox is four hours. This really is an advantage especially when you find a last minute auction and need every thing fast. We are the home inspection company to go to.

• Inside the house
• Around the outside (which includes decking, carports, grannyflats, garages and sheds within 50 metres of the house)
• Gardens, retaining walls (non structural), paving and fence lines (all within 50 metres of the house).

Termite Treatment Services

We can look further into areas of concern with an evasive inspection. After gaining written consent from the vendors we can place our borescope into the wall through a series of 10mm holes and have a much better insight to the extent of activity or damage. This minimises the guess work and can possibly show where the termites gained entry. The Borescope Inspection realy provides peace of mind and is a great alternative to stripping large areas of wall. For best results we advise to disturb the termites as little as possible.

The Termite Treatment is quite simple provided we get good access to the active termites. We use a chemical called Termidor which is safe for family and pets. It has a unique transfer effect where the termites pass it onto one another through communication and grooming. Only our senior Technicians conduct the Termite Treatments which come complete with warranties. From there you can further protect the property with a Termite Barrier. This all depends on the construction type, dampness of the soil and gardens/plants which surround the house. Not all homes need a barrier and our Pest Inspector can explain how you rate of the Termite Risk Factor.

We also offer a Pest Control Service on settlement so you can move into your house pest free. This is the best time to do it as the place is unfurnished and can remain closed up for a day or two.
